Bear Down Wildcats

Sorry guys, it's been hard for me to keep track of all the "problems" this 20-3, #7 polls, #3 KenPom, #7 RPI, #1 PAC, #7 Sagarin, #5 BPI....Cats team has. I thought we could just list all of the issues/problems here, so I can keep track.

Thanks in advance...I'll go off memory:

Miller has a ceiling
Zues is no good
Chemistry cause of Stan
Defense is not good enough
Too short a bench
York/Pitts are awful
Team can't shoot
Free Throws
Timouts
Passing
Dribbling
Catching
Handing off
Uniforms
Gimmicks
Late game execution
Can't beat inferior teams
Offense
Unwatchable games
(insert year) was much better
Transfers
(insert team) is so much better
Seedings & Bracketology


I probably have missed alot, so if you guys could help me out so I could reset my expectations and take the fun out of watching a team play, I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers.

Edits--(adding in other problems mentioned)
PAC refs
Road blues

PAC-12 reffing.

Good call, but that deserves a thread of it's own. In perpetuity...

I'm sure that our residents experts that know more about cbb than CSM will let you know what other "problems" this team has. It is always amazing how entitled some people are. They can't even enjoy the ride, watching one of the better programs in cbb.

The good news, as always, is that this year will be viewed in much better light in subsequent years. I always smile remembering all the complaints of yesteryears, only to hear now how great those years were....

You left out "Road Blues"

How are we ranked #7 with all these problems?

The team and Miller need to adjust to how games are called. You are not certain how the games will be called in March by other teams of refs.

You forgot these:

Old people at games
Young people at games
(INSERT PLAYER) is a chucker.
Can Miller recruit?
East Coast bias
(INSERT WRITER) hates us
Larry Scott hates us
Whenever (INSERT TEAM) plays us, it's their equivalent of a NCAA Title game


and then some I've noticed but have not shared out of fear of reprisal...

The new lighting makes Sean Miller sweat more.
McKale has a ceiling.
Jacob Hazzard is a UCLA mole within the program.
When Arizona plays on a Thursday night, there is a 66% more chance of me being late for work on Friday, which makes me grumpy, which in turn makes me a very anti-social message board poster, which in turn ruins my whole weekend.

Doesn't use the bench, which shouldn't be confused with:

York and Pitts suck.

Or:

Hate the substitution pattern.

Too defensive=minded, which shouldn't be confused with:

Suck on D, which shouldn't be confused with:

Why does Tarc play so much?

Start Rondae, which didn't solve ...

Slow Starts!

West Coast bias.

You can't adjust to what isn't consistent. It only ends up with the players losing confidence. In the Dance, win or lose, it's consistent for the most part.

IMHO Miller should just tell Zeus and the rest of the guys to go up strong every game from here on out and let him worry about the fouls. Enough pussy-footing around the refs. We've got a championship to win.

All of that to come.

My wife and mom's current misunderstanding.

oh wait, wrong thread.

Smelly fingers after an itch on, around, or in the rear.

RR recruiting class is too low......oops wrong sport. Must be an AZ sport top 10 thing

1. Pitts should start
2. Miller does not appreciate Cat fans in the Valley
3. Miller doesn't support Valley area scholarship fundraisers

Before you dismiss 2 and 3. Don't you think it might be bad karma that led to losing 2 in a row
@ Tempe?

1. Ristic should start over Tarc.
2. Korcheck needs more minutes.

I think Machina is the reason that the team doesn't play well in Tempe. Dude will suck the life out of anything.

well, since karma is not a real thing, yeah I'll dismiss 2 & 3.

no tie = no win

tie = criticism about Dillard's

Maybe there is a no win scenario as coach of Arizona unless you win every single game, play stellar defense, play fun offense, hit every free throw, every game.

Of course, there would be some other problem.

You want problems? Go to the boards of 99% of other schools out there.

Lot of bitchassness is a big problem.

I would have added "Ticketmaster purposely keeping tickets for Vegas out of Arizona fans hands", but I finally got tickets today for the semi-finals and finals after initially being told they were sold out.

So that could be changed to "Ticketmaster (and Larry Scott) purposely kept $12 tickets out of Arizona fans' hands on 12/12/14."

And maybe add "bathroom lines suck at McKale".

That's all I got right now. I like our team

It burns when I pee... Wait, can someone point me to the thread that deals with that?

Probably wanna hit up an ASU message board for the answer to that.

???? It's awful quite in here!!!

Biggest Problem? There aren't problems.

That's a problem!

The only problem was the punk ass kids not cleaning up the floor that could've been much worse then it was! Thank goodness!

Bacterial infection.
Concussion.
Ugly shoes with no traction.

Won't pull the starters.

Honestly surprised we are #5. Should be higher. Time will tell.

In my perfect world we beat Wiskey and the Grinch on our way to the Final Game.

We should be undefeated and #2 in the nation but I'm not complaining.

Miller blames students/alumni/fans for loss

CBS announcing teams suck. Undefeated with Walton/Pasch. They won't be doing the NCAA tourney.

The team is chock-full of problems. You people just don't see them because you're not REALLY WATCHING the games, like I am.
I would explain, but alas, the subtle details would just go over your heads. Shame, really.
Carry on in your ignorance, you dilettantes.
